GREENSBURG – A Rushville man was arrested Friday on two charges of possession of child pornography, following an investigation that began with a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) in November of 2016, according to police and court records.

Joseph G. Yantiss, 30, was arrested by GPD officers Friday after a year-long investigation concluded. The investigation began last year when a cyber tip from the NCMEC determined that 34 images/videos had been uploaded to a Dropbox account associated with the email address jyantiss1@yahoo.com. The account was reportedly linked to a screen name Brittany Brown.

ISP Detective Ginger Marshall, who works with the Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, led the investigation. Marshall was able to track Yantiss down to Rushville through internet records and the phone number attached to the email account.

HUNTSVILLE (KFSM) — A Huntsville man has pleaded not guilty to possessing more than 100 digital files involving child pornography.

Charles Roach was arrested Sept. 28 after the Madison County Sheriff’s Office received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that child pornography had been downloaded from a Facebook Messenger account.

Deputies spoke to Roach after discovering his Facebook account had a similar name and photo as the suspected account, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Deputies then verified Roach’s cell number matched the number from the tip.

Roach, 48, allowed deputies to search his phone, which held 100 videos and more than 9,000 images — 90 percent of which were pornographic, according to the affidavit.

An investigation into the sharing of child pornography on the internet led state investigators to a Kenosha man who was allegedly using a false female persona on Facebook to share images.

Robert Craig, 61, of Kenosha, was charged Thursday with 16 counts of possession of child pornography. He has not yet appeared in court.

According to the criminal complaint, the investigation into Craig began in late 2015 when the United States Department of Homeland Security tipped off an agent from the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation that a North Dakota investigation had turned up images of child pornography that were associated with an email account associated with a residence in Kenosha.

Then, in 2016, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reported to state investigators that an image of suspected child pornography was uploaded to a Facebook account for an MJ Walker and associated with the same Kenosha address.
